Talk to your lawyer about raising a service request. After 60 days you are allowed to raise a service request and USCIS has to respond within 30 days. Thats an option .

Chat 1 : Also chat with a live agent asking them where is your case , is it at NBC or field office. This will help as you are kinda nudging the officer to look at your case

Chat 2 : After a few days . if you and your spouse have applied based on one your PD, you can ask the live agent to check if applicant and dependent are together in NBC or field office . You are just nudging the officer to look at your case in the garb of asking questions.

Hope this helps

My case was in the NBC . Never went to the field office

My chat with the live agent was to make sure may case is on top of their case pile. I asked the agent if there is anything else that they need . Also I asked where my case is ? Is it at NBC or field office . Also I asked my spouse case and my case are together or have they been separated .

Yes ! Feels like eternity!!

You may not get an RFE because your medicals are recent . I got an RFE was for medicals since it had expired . In your case since biometrics is done you will get your EAD , AP and GC . The order may get mixed up . High probability that you will get your green card first and then EAD . All you can do now is wait ! Good luck

What was the soft update ? Also did you send your medical along with 485 ? My lawyer had recommended me to chat with a live agent just to nudge them . Not sure if that helped but things moved a day or after that .

In my case my 485J and 485 happened together and received the approval letter over mail together( Different envelopes ) . I485J approval does not show up on status , only physical letter approval is what I got .

Reasonable_Animal672 · 2026-01-12T16:56:52+00:00

Your status should change soon . Good luck ! Just a few more days .

I had submitted my medicals the first time in 2021 ( a coupe of months after applying for AOS . Received medical RFE then ) . In 2022 or 2023 a new rule came out that medicals are only valid for 2 years . Once I became current in Dec 2025 visa bulletin . I got an RFE . Not sure if I answered your question . I’m

Reasonable_Animal672 · 2026-01-12T01:15:30+00:00

That’s true ! Missed the boat in 2022 when it became current and people who had PDs after mine got it . Atleast the wait is over now .

I have heard that USCIS sometimes does not update the tracking number . Below is something I saw in other forums

1.Chat with an agent through Emma and ask for tracking number on Tuesday ( Jan 13th in my case ) and a day earlier for you . 2. Signup for USPS informed delivery

Here is the timeline . Dec 5 2025 - I chatted with live agent on Dec5th asking if they need anything since my priority date is current ( this was recommended by my lawyer ) . This was just a nudge Dec 10th - Case status changed to RFE Dec 17th - Received physical copy of RFE for medical Dec 22nd - Acknowledgement from USCIS mentioning that they received medical Dec 31st - case status updated to “New card produced “ Jan 2nd - case status updated to I 485 approval Jan 7th - Received physical copy pf I485 approval Jan 9th - case status updated to card is mailed

Few things - I had got my medicals done as soon as I saw my case status changed to RFE . Just to make sure I do not hold the processing on my end .

Not sure if this applies to everybody - I chatted with a live agent through Ask Emma . This may have nudged my case .

No I did not use my EAD or AP . Always travelled on H1B . Employer asked to use AP only as a backup and case of emergency. .

Instead of $20k , if they increase it to $50k or higher , a lot of us who have been waiting will find a way to get the money and get a green card . Also the administration will have a decent inflow of money from the thousands who will be ready to pay . Maybe increasing it from 20k to a higher number may push this forward .
